Bishop Flavin blesses chapel fit the beginning of the school year much ottention was drauun towords the new chapel. Located ot the end of the new wing, its purpose: o place for spiritual development and guidance for students and faculty. Bishop Glen- non Flavin gave his approval of the new addition by blessing the chapel. Fill students utilized the new chapel, some went to class mass and others went to confession. There was also moss every day, in which students weren't forced to go, but were able to choose whether or not they wanted to celebrate mass. There were a few pupils who didn't attend moss, and it was these students who helped bring about a Parish Council meeting, fit their discussion, the priests decided to make class mosses mandltory for all students. The result of not attending mass was to stay after school for thirty minutes, and write a paper on the reason for not going to mass. The reactions to this resolution were mixed. Some students felt that this decision infringed upon their freedom, while others thought that this would force fellow classmates to come too, and cause some disturbance at the mass. Freshmen were instructed by Fr. Doug Fuller. They studied from the book Life in Christ. This book developed the subject of leading a good life, and gave examples on how a good Christian should act ond live. The sophmores were taught by Sr. Christine Uerling, MS, who guided them through a major portion of the Bible, both Old and New Tes- taments, the prophets and sac- raments. Sr. Christine's room was the site of junior religion, also. They were Instructed on the lives of saints, Christian morality, and on the ten commandments. The Senior class had a host of different teachers. Fr. Thomas Flu taught the first semester, teaching the different aspects of sin. The third quarter Fr. John McCabe taught the basics of Natural Family Planning and of marriage. The fourth quarter's instructor was Fr. John Keefe. He taught about social justice, the Christian way of life.
